Chapter 251: Chapter 221: Fusion! The Terror of the Super Energy Warrior
"Remember, don’t lie to me!" Gao Xiaomeng nodded.
At the fourth tier and fused with Gao Xiaomeng.
Gao Neng had no idea how strong he would become. But at the very least, he felt he would have a fighting chance against these thousands of aliens. For a short while, he would no longer need the Furious Giant Ape’s protection.
’That should make things easier for Shen Ning’Er.’
"Ning’Er, I’ve broken through to the fourth tier; I don’t need your protection anymore! This is the Spring of Life, find a chance and drink it!" With that thought, Gao Neng immediately threw the Spring of Life toward the Furious Giant Ape.
The Furious Giant Ape was controlled by Shen Ning’Er’s Spiritual Power.
It naturally caught the bottle with ease.
"ROAR!" The Furious Giant Ape glanced at Gao Neng, then leaped up and smashed a fist down at Mu Feifei from midair.
Mu Feifei was already at a slight disadvantage against Shen Ning’Er.
Now the Furious Giant Ape had joined the fray.
Mu Feifei immediately fell back.
Her gaze, however, was fixed on Gao Neng.
’He broke through to the fourth tier?! Don’t tell me... he really was low-tier before?’ Mu Feifei couldn’t believe it, but she had no time to dwell on the thought.
She had only one thought in her mind!
Kill Shen Ning’Er.
Kill Gao Neng.
"Attack together!" Mu Feifei’s resolve hardened.
"KILL!" The sixth-tier aliens, who had been keeping their distance because of Mu Feifei, roared upon hearing her command, their faces twisting with killing intent.
’Mu Feifei is finally willing to join forces with us.’
’Shen Ning’Er’s death is certain.’
As the sixth-tier aliens charged forward...
Shen Ning’Er didn’t waste time thanking Gao Neng.
Nor did she hesitate.
She downed all the remaining Spring of Life in the bottle in a single gulp.
Gui Zian, currently surrounded by twenty high-tier opponents, felt his face fall. An inexplicable chill crept into his heart...
’It wasn’t that I wanted to fight Shen Ning’Er for the Spring of Life.’
’But couldn’t you have at least asked?’
’I came all this way to save the day, after all. And I’m single-handedly holding off twenty high-tier opponents. Was asking if I wanted a drink too much to ask?’
"Hang in there, Teacher Gui! We’ll come save you as soon as we deal with these guys!" Fang Tangtang yelled at that moment, simultaneously pulling out a handful of capsules.
"Don’t worry, I can hold on!" Gui Zian gritted his teeth. As a teacher, even though he was incredibly annoyed, he didn’t let it show on his face.
BOOM! A loud explosion rang out.
Gui Zian was knocked to the ground, sent rolling by the impact.
But he quickly scrambled to his feet and resumed twisting his hips to dodge the high-tier opponents’ attacks.
He truly had no strength left to fight back.
The high-tier Hill Giant was putting immense pressure on him. With such a shield blocking his path, he couldn’t get around it, even with his ability to "swim" through the air.
All he could do was defend and dodge.
「Meanwhile...」
Gao Neng and Gao Xiaomeng had finally completed their fusion.
The familiar sensation returned.
And it was several times more intense than the last.
He could clearly feel a powerful energy surging from Gao Xiaomeng’s body and flowing rapidly into his own.
As his energy radiated outward, his perception strengthened immensely.
Once Gao Xiaomeng’s energy entered his body,
Gao Neng felt his range of control—originally only three to five meters—instantly expand to an enormous degree. The radius now reached at least several hundred meters!
A several-hundred-meter radius of control!
Combined with his innate affinity for the elements.
’I’m so strong right now,’ Gao Neng thought. ’Ridiculously strong.’
However, with the Furious Giant Ape gone, the aliens no longer held back. They swarmed forward, and at least ten fifth-tier combatants launched a simultaneous attack on Gao Neng.
"Fifth-tier?! Bring it on!" At his thought, Gao Neng’s Spiritual Power solidified into a long blade in midair. This was an attack using his Soul Seal.
CRACK!
A fifth-tier alien was struck by the Soul Seal’s blade. Its eyes went vacant and dazed, and then its body crumpled to the ground.
’Just as I thought. Within my domain, the Soul Seal can be used as an offensive weapon!’ Gao Neng’s experiment had succeeded. Fifth-tier opponents were no longer a threat to him.
"How did this Gao Neng suddenly become so strong?!"
"Attacking directly with the Soul Seal without waiting for the soul to escape... isn’t that a high-tier technique?"
"How can this be?"
The twenty-odd Princes watching from the sidelines all showed a flash of surprise, but it vanished as quickly as it came.
After all, they still held the absolute advantage.
’If the fifth-tiers can’t handle Gao Neng,’
’Then we’ll just send some sixth-tiers over!’
"A few of you, go deal with Gao Neng!" one of the Princes yelled.
"Sir!" Three sixth-tier aliens immediately broke away from the group surrounding Shen Ning’Er and charged toward Gao Neng.
The sixth-tiers were making their move!
But Gao Neng didn’t wait for them to reach him.
The aliens’ main strength lay in close-quarters combat.
Although he too excelled at close combat, with his energy now radiating outward, keeping a medium distance was the best way for him to fight.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t yet learned any mid-range combat techniques.
But it didn’t matter!
’My grasp of theory is excellent!’
’If I don’t know any mid-range techniques, then I’ll just go for total annihilation!’
’It was the simplest logic!’
RUMBLE! The ground under Gao Neng’s feet began to crack.
’What are rocks made of?’
’The main components are silicates. Beyond that, red rocks usually contain iron, green ones contain copper, and there are even some sulfides...’
If he were to do this the old way,
He would have extracted a few types of Elemental Energy from the surrounding rocks.
Like iron, or copper, or sulfur...
But not this time. He decided to forcibly extract every single element contained within the rocks. On top of that, he would also forcibly extract the elements from every tree within a five-hundred-meter radius!
’In my domain, I am the master of all!’ A brief thought about exposure crossed Gao Neng’s mind, but he couldn’t afford to worry about that now.
’So what if I’m exposed?’
’Death is the only thing to fear!’
’My hidden talent is powerful, so I’ll use it. As for whether I’ll be captured and studied for it, well, we’ll see if anyone has the guts to try.’
"Come on!"
"Weren’t you all just calling me weak?!"
"Weren’t you all screaming about killing me?"
"Now, I’ll show you what a real Super Energy Warrior can do!"
RUMBLE!
Chunks of rock began to rise from the already cracked earth. Not just rocks, but the very soil itself—all of it lifted into the air.
"Extract all Elemental Energy!" Gao Neng barked.
The rocks shattered!
Dust filled the air.
The solid rocks instantly liquified. Streams of liquid energy of every color mixed together, forming a torrent like a mudslide.
"What is Gao Neng trying to do?!"
"He... how did he do that?"
"..."
At that moment, the Princes’ eyes went wide with disbelief.
’They had never seen a fighting style like this. Extracting all the soil and rocks from the ground? How is that even possible?’
’Normally, a human can only extract a portion of the elements.’
’Like iron, copper, sulfur, and so on!’
’But Gao Neng?’
All the rocks and soil floating in midair had completely transformed into liquid energy. Not a single speck of other material fell; there weren’t even any impurities.
A scene like this didn’t just shock the Princes.
Even Mu Feifei, locked in combat with Shen Ning’Er, was taken aback.
She had fought Gao Neng once before.
During that fight, Gao Neng had used two techniques: one was an air compression cannon, and the other was extracting all the Elemental Energy, like iron and copper, from the underground factory.
But that had merely been an extraction of iron and copper.
But this time?
Gao Neng had extracted the rock and soil, all of it, in one fell swoop.
A dark, oppressive mass of mixed liquid energy floated in the air. The sight was simply inconceivable, something that should have been impossible.
Unless... there was one possibility.
Gao Neng’s hidden talent included every element found in rock and soil—even the rare ones!
